1995 Ford Aerostar Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1995 Ford Aerostar covers the 4.0L and 3.0L OHV V6 gasoline engines, both naturally aspirated, in four body styles: the four-door mini passenger van, the two-door mini passenger van, the two-door mini cargo van and the two-door extended passenger van. Four trims are listed, Base, XLT, XLT Plus and XLT Sport.

Known issues on the 1995 Aerostar. Seven recalls are on federal record. They include a spare tire that can contact and fracture a rear brake line when mounted in the underbody carrier; a certification label listing the wrong rear tire size, which would leave the tires short of the required load capacity; and a fuel pump and sender wiring harness that can overheat and short. Owners have filed 173 complaints with NHTSA, most often about the electrical system, the power train and the service brakes. The brake procedures, wiring diagrams and driveline specifications in this manual are where those systems are worked through.
